Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug. 16', 1921.

Application filed November 19, 1819. Serial No. 339,072.

T 0 all whom 2'25 may concern:

Be it known that I, ENooH' J. BRADY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Burkburnett, in the county of lVichitaand State of Texas,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Motors; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in water motorsand has for one of its objects the provision of a pipe or casing placedlevel and having a spiral throughout its length so that a pressure ofwater will be exerted on the spiral throughout the entire length of thecasing'or pipe thereby giving an increased amount of power from the samequantityv of water and which will render a double amount of power ordriving force from a certain volume of water than can be obtained fromany other wheel on the market or in use.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a water motor ofthe above stated character, which shall be simple, durable, andefficient, and which may be manufactured and sold at a comparatively lowcost.

With these and other objects in view as will become more'apparent as thedescrip tion proceeds, the invention consists in certain novelfeaturesof construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had tothe followa pair of sections 2 and 3 respectively. The

section?) hasits forward end disposed in an inlet opening 4 of a forebay5 and secured into said opening by means of an integral collar 6detachably secured to the forebay by means of fasteners or bolts 7 Theforebay 5 is adapted to be located within a stream of water or any otherbody of water so that the water can enter the section 3 of the casing 1.The forebay 5 is provided with a slidable gate 8 for the purpose ofcontrolling the water through the inlet opening 4.

The adjacent ends of the sections 2 and 3 have annular flanges 9 formed"thereon which abut each other and are detachably connected by bolts orlike fasteners 10. The

cured between the flanges 9 by the bolts or fasteners 10 and is equippedwith a bearing 15 that receives a coupling 17 that detachably connects.the sections of the spiral 13 together. The spiral extends the length ofthe casing 1 and the section 2 is provided with an opening to permit theshaft 18 of the spiral to extend therethrough. The shaft 18 has its endjournaled in a bearing19 located in a supporter abutment 20. A powertake-off wheel 21 is secured to the shaft to which machinery and thelike may be connected by an endless belt. The adjacent ends of thespiral are screw threaded or the shaft portions thereof and aredetachably connected by a sleeve which is internally screw threaded andindicated by the character 17.

Thus it will be seen that the spiral extending the full length of thecasing 1 will receive pressure thereon throughout the entire length ofthe casing from the water passing through said casing. 7

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of myinvention, it

will be understood that minor changes in constructlon, comblnation, andarrangement of parts may be made Without departing from the spirit andscope of the invention as claimed. 7

Having thus described my invention What I claim is A Water motorcomprising a tube having an offset discharge portion, a bearingspacedfrom and opposite to the offset discharge portion, a water drivenpower element in the tube projecting through and journaled in saidoffset discharge portion, said element also being journaled in saidbearing, and a power take-on" means on the element intermediate theofiset discharge portion and said bearing said tube being in sections, abearing disposed intermediate said sections, securing means common tothe second bearing and said sections, a coupling journaled in the secondbearing, and said power ele ment being made in sections and coupled bysaid coupling member.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
